I agree with you Unico. I suggest we will add the features that we need for forrest here in this code base and then refactor what we have as block. If we then further need to extend or change the stuff we need to patch it, or somebody that is committer over cocoon has to apply the patches. I think we kept it to long "hidden" in our rep. ;-) > > To make it easier for you to use it indipendently from Forrest, we could > > add a separate ant target for building it and when we release Forrest, > > keep it as a separate jar. > > Okay, that would be nice. > That is a good start but IMO it should become a block. salu2 > - -- > Unico > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (Darwin) > > iD8DBQFC0n9Icuec8tVNKAwRAj7IAKDWgCC1lB61NtlGmRqVghtv7pBr0ACfY1PV > bS/G0L0y6vqZQiVsCJfoKVk= > =GH7A > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- > -- thorsten "Together we stand, divided we fall!"
